Like what has already been posted about it, you need to find the race affinity in sharedassets17.assets, located in EndlessSpace_Data of your Endless Space install. Open it up with Notepad++, then look for whatever affinity you want to use, I suggest using the name of the race, as that will be much faster. If you want more pick points for racial traits, you need to edit the Cost= part of the entry to whatever you want.

The thing you need to keep in mind when editing the game files is that because modding tools have not been released yet, the dev team is working on making the game more moddable, you have to keep the number of characters and white spaces the same as the unmodified file, to check this in Notepad++ go to View > Summary and then look at the Current Document Length entry and compare it to an unmodified version, which hopefully you have made a back-up of the file you are editing, if it is not the same your game will crash, if it is you will be fine.

Happy modding.
